About the time in Richmond
The zone identifier America/New_York is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/New_York keeps pointing at New York time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:32 and sunset at 07:52 local time, giving 13h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (37.55, -77.46) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Richmond.
Richmond sits at latitude 37.55, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 20m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
